We’re thrilled to share some amazing news: Element451 has been named to the 2025 GSV 150, a prestigious list of the most transformational companies in edtech.

Each year, GSV Ventures recognizes 150 private companies like Element451 whose growth — measured by increasing revenue and new customers — demonstrates that schools find their product to be indispensable for serving students.

We are honored to be among the industry’s most innovative companies that are empowering higher education with highly usable, groundbreaking technology, particularly artificial intelligence.

This year’s GSV 150 cohort shares our laser-focused attention on turning advances in AI into competitive advantages for educational institutions.

How We’re Leading an AI-First Future for Higher Education

The GSV 150 selection criteria emphasize growth, and our progress over the past year has been nothing short of remarkable. From increasing our customer base to introducing transformative AI-powered features, we’ve worked tirelessly to ensure our platform is both innovative and essential.

Our recognition by GSV Ventures comes on the heels of another major milestone: a $175 million strategic investment from PSG, announced just last week. This investment fuels our ability to innovate and expand even further.

Over the past year, we’ve introduced a suite of significant AI products, including:

• AI assistants for students and staff, designed to help our partner institutions deliver 1:1 support and communications to thousands at once
• Generative AI search for college and university websites, turning the front-door to a school’s digital presence into an intuitive, ask-me-anything experience
• Countless other AI-powered enhancements to our Engage CRM, all aimed at streamlining operations, boosting productivity, and improving student engagement

Joining a Transformative Movement

The companies on the GSV 150 collectively reach over 3 billion learners and generate more than $25 billion in annual revenue. As Luben Pampoulov, Partner at GSV Ventures, puts it, “The rapid rise of generative AI is fueling knowledge and creating opportunities we had not imagined before.”

At Element451, we’re proud to contribute to this wave of transformation by embedding AI into everything we do.

Thank You to Our Community

This recognition wouldn’t be possible without the trust and partnership of our customers, the dedication of our team, and the support of the broader edtech community. Together, we’re building an AI-first future for higher education.
